One day she's a Twenties-inspired flapper, another, a rainbow-eye-lidded warrior.

But
even with her talent for artistry and love of cosmetics, Annamarie
Tendler has just one hard-and-fast rule when it comes to make-up. Girls,
'wear mascara' she told Today.com.

The
26-year-old has made a face of her canvas, a palette of the world of
cosmetics at her disposal and, using the internet as her stage, has
created a series of online tutorials revealing her inspirational make-up
tips and tricks.

How-to guide: Annamarie Tendler, 26, has
given herself some far-fetched looks to demonstrate the make-up
tutorials she posts on her blog. From left: Roy Lichtenstein's art is

Swan; a silver and blue fishnet design creates an ethereal effect

The professional make-up artist's series of The Daily Face creations at Annamarie.tumblr.com shows what can be done with a bit of imagination
when it comes to eyes, cheeks and lips.

Despite the miasma of
looks - from the scary to the stunning - the New York local keeps her
lists of products simple, her instructions clear and her approach
straightforward. As eccentric as some styles may be, they are designed
for just about anyone to master.

'I wanted to make
something that didn't inundate the viewer with information, but rather
offered up a simple concept in a simple way,' she told Today.com.

Her
popular blog shows almost-daily pictures, names the products used and
gives instructions: 'As in, here is a look, this is how you do it, this
is what you use,' she told the network.A particularly striking - if a little unsuitable for the office - look is pop-art brought to life.

She
writes of the Lichtenstein-inspired get up: 'I will warn anyone who
tries this out that pulling this one off is a lot like cleaning your
bedroom: it looks worse before it looks good.'

Red
dots and white background were created using Ben Nye Creme Color in red
and white, while the lip colour is NARS Lipstick in Heat Wave.Another, a sophisticated throwback to
the days of flappers, 'was inspired [by] looking at Brassai photos of
the 20s,' Miss Tendler writes.

'Everyone looks so cool and glamorous,' she said of the era - and she fits in perfectly in her new guise, if 70 years too late.

Far-fetched: The 'Vintage Zombie' look
was demonstrated ahead of Halloween (left); Miss Tendler's rainbow eyes
were to celebrate New York legalising same-sex marriage in June
(centre); This dramatic look was inspired by Brassai's photographs of
the Twenties (right)

Her
striped, playful rainbow lids were celebratory homage to new same-sex
marriage laws in the state of New York, while a ghoulish Halloween
rendering is complete with blue veins and requisite fake blood.

Some
designs are, thankfully, more prosaic, suitable for daily life in the
city. Yesterday's pared-down make-up was, she writes, the result of
running late.

Her instructions, in keeping with
being pressed for time, appropriately read: 'For this look I applied the
Benefit shadow with my finger to the lid from lashline to crease. This
stuff dries quickly so it’s important that you work fast, since after it
dries it’s difficult to blend.'

New
tricks, from left: Showing how neon green eyeshadow can be a relatively
natural look; a flick of bold turquoise liquid eyeliner; a bold red lip
for the Emmy Awards last September; working the Sixties look, complete
with drawn-on lower lashes

A
steady hand and a handful of products ensure a transformation without
piling on layers of foundation, TV-ready amounts of concealer and
lipstick in overkill - it helps, of course, to be as naturally beautiful
as Miss Tendler.

The
brunette is clearly a busy woman. 'I need to be generating so much
material and I'm only one person, who also works on other shoots and
projects,' she told Today.com. 'I find that every couple of months I
need to take a two week break.'
